Colour chemistry

Colour is at the heart of many important functions in the world around us and by exploring the basic principles in this hands-on workshop, students can understand where it comes from and how we see the effects that we know and love.

In this activity colour is used in chromatography, to demonstrate the effects of surface tension of liquids and to follow redox reactions.
